‘The Last Waltz – a Musical Celebration of The BAND – Live’ celebrates the 43rd Anniversary of the historic concert and film in 2019.

An all-star Canadian cast of award-winning blues and roots musicians, under the direction of Juno award winning producer and musical director, Lance Anderson, will recreate the atmosphere of The Band’s final concert, which was captured in Martin Scorcese’s award-winning concert film, The Last Waltz. This crowd pleasing show, which has thrilled audiences at the CNE Bandshell (Toronto), Mariposa Folk Festival (Orillia) Norfolk County Fair (Simcoe), the Shenkman Theatre (Ottawa), Peterborough, Cobourg, Collingwood, Peter’s Players in Gravenhurst, and at Hugh’s Room in Toronto, has gained a national following of devoted Band fans. They have headlined the Kitchener Blues Festival, Southside Shuffle, Wasaga Beach Blues Festival, Lethbridge AB Fair and Orillia Spring Blues Fests.

This is an all-star line-up, featuring Juno and Maple Blues Lifetime Achievement award winner Chuck Jackson (lead singer of the Downchild Blues Band), Jerome Levon Avis (Levon Helm’s godson), Kitchener phenom Matt Weidinger, the always entertaining Johnny Max, gospel sensation Quisha Wint and a 9 piece band!
"This is a part of our shared Canadian musical heritage, and we are so proud to bring you this music.
